This dedicated employee walked 32 km to get to work!

Jul 23, 2018

Working with full dedication and passion is something that only a few people can do. Walter Carr from the suburbs of Birmingham, Alabama has proved the real meaning of professionalism and ethics by walking 32kms to his workplace. Walter Carr’s car broke down the night before his first day at work so to not get late to work he walked all the way just to reach on time. Carr was planning on walking the entire way from Homewood to Pelham, where he had to report for work for Bellhops. The young man would have done the entire journey on foot had a police officer not found him on the way.

When Bellhops CEO Luke Marklin heard about Carr’s dedication, he drove from a different state over the weekend to meet his new employee.

Carr plans to graduate from college in December with a degree in health science, after which he hopes to join the US Marines, and then study physical therapy.

We've all seen the amazing story shared by Jenny about one of our bellhops, Walter Carr, but many have asked if we have any video from the moment CEO @LukeMarklin thanked Walter for the perseverance he demonstrated on his first day w/ @BellhopsMoving #TheWorldNeedsMoreWalters pic.twitter.com/mXrvI2JQoP
